Hi guys, I just wanted to let you know to never use hostpoco.com hosting services. I bought a 3 year hosting service in August 2023. It was supposed to go until August 2026 but they just terminated my service saying that they no longer serve discounted plans. That's it. They just won't honor the contract. Although I paid for 3 years in advance. To me that's a scam and that's why I want them to be known as a Scam. I want people to find this Reddit post here when they are looking up Hostpoco.

Mind you, I only paid 30 USD for 3 years of hosting in August of 2023. This is extremely cheap hosting. Still, I don't see any reason why they should not serve discounted rates. I got the 3 year term because it was so extremely discounted.

And logically after 18 months have passed there is also no way to get the money back via Paypal or any credit card company. Down below you can see the text exchange I had with their customer service. Never do business with Hostpoco.
